This paper attempts to examine the role and effectiveness of media education programs in post-colonial Hong Kong. Adopting a case study approach, the paper describes and evaluates two new media education projects designed to train young people's critical thinking skills. It also outlines the challenges to such programs in a post-colonial society, highlighting issues such as the legacy of the colonial system. Findings of the case studies indicate that the legacy of the colonial education system, which tended to "spoon-feed" students, was to constrain the effectiveness of media education in Hong Kong. However, in general the young participants did benefit from the media education curricula and workshops. It is found that piecemeal media education programs enhance young people's "specific" critical analytical skills rather than their "general" critical media awareness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
